Dates set for UO spring football

The Oregon football team will begin spring practices on March 30 in Eugene. The Ducks will practice 15 times, concluding with the annual spring game on May 2 at Autzen Stadium.

Oregon beat then-No. 13 Oklahoma State 42-31 in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30. That win helped the Ducks finish the season No. 10 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 9 in the USA Today coaches' poll.

It is the third time the Ducks ended a season ranked in the top 10, following the 2000 Holiday Bowl season and 2001 Fiesta Bowl season.
